fun movie

The Bounts come busting into the Soul Society, and it doesn't take the Soul Reapers long to turn up, only to get wasted by Koga's machine-gunning doll. And when Ichigo's group splits up, Rukia finds herself in single combat with the sadistic Bount Yoshi. But while she initially has the upper hand, Rukia soon realizes that her Bount enemy can absorb reishi to heal her injuries.

In fact, the 23rd volume of "Bleach" suffers from a bit of whiplash, one minute you have got a bloody episode long fight, and the next it's an episode of talking and pig-riding. Bleach is such a fun show, not for young children, but great fun for adults that just want something nice to watch.

Product Overview

Kariya and the Bounts arrive in the Soul Society and find themselves battling two Soul Reaper lieutenants, but the abundance of reishi in the Soul Society gives the Bounts a ready source of power, rendering them formidable opponents. Ichigo and friends arrive in the Soul Society, and when Rukia is injured in a fight, Ichigo follows her to the Kuchiki house, where he asks Byakuya to fight alongside him against the Bounts.

Byakuya refuses and insists they leave it up to the 13th Court Squad Guards, but soon enough Byakuya finds himself in a one-on-one battle with Kariya.

Review

Imagine what your life would be like if your whole life, you'd been able to see spirits and ghosts. No I'm not referring to 'The Sixth Sense', I'm talking about the new action/drama/comedy anime called Bleach. The series follows 15 year old high school student Kurosaki Ichigo, and the adventures he has dealing with his rather unusual ability to see and communicate with spirits. But on one fateful night, he discovers that his until now harmless ability was about to put his own life and his families lives in great danger...At first glance, Kurosaki Ichigo seems like your normal 15 year old high school student. But life at the Kurosaki household is anything but normal. He lives with his father and two younger sisters who all help run the clinic they own. With a father who enforces the curfue with his fists and two sisters who can see ghosts also (but not talk with them like he can), there is never a dull moment in this house. But things get even stranger when one night he meets a spirit girl named Kuchiki Rukia, a Shinigami or an angel of death. She explains to him that because of his high spiritual concentration, he will be targeted by evil spirits called Hollows who would very much like to devour his soul. The only way for Ichigo to protect himself and his family is to become a Shinigami himself...While the pretense for this series may sound cool, I found Bleach to be a mediocre anime series at best. Other than the whole ghost aspect it seemed all too cliche, none of the characters seemed to spark that much interest in me (save for one of Ichigos' female acquaintances who had two rather nice.. features). They do a good job of balancing the heavy drama with some comedy here and there. But the only part that seemed to consistently entertain me were of course the fight scenes. But even these weren't anything really special, just your regular 'dude with giant sword vs scary monster'. Hmmm, I wonder who will win?! The animation was standard, although sometimes even a little too kiddy for my tastes. Overall, I had more complaints than compliments about this anime. I think this anime has potential and once they start getting deep into it I'm sure it may be pretty cool. But the first 5 episodes didn't convince me that this anime is worth the effort. If the storyline sounds interesting to you, check it out. Because thats about all that sets this apart from any other anime you've ever seen. I give it a 2.5 out of 5 stars.

Quotes

Adam Arseneau, DVD Verdict

One of the hottest anime series around, with good reason...a complex world of spirituality and over-the-top battle sequences...

Don Houston, DVD Talk

...funny, action packed...[the] mixture of darker material with the comedic was superior to a great many competitors...

There really isn't a whole lot to dislike about [Bleach]. Right from the start we are introduced to very fun characters that are animated in a very lively fashion

Carlo Santos, AnimeNewsNetwork.com

...one incredibly entertaining anime that will grab you and refuse to let go.
